Chapter 743: Fairy Island

He stretched out his hand to press the edge of the table, his eyes firm as he said, "Wait for the right time, it's just the right time, alas!"

He looked at his son and said, "I am not good at strategy, so you are not allowed to run around. You are a man, you should be brave and strong, understand?"

Wu Yingxiong bowed and said, "I understand, then..."

He looked at his father and said, "Father, how can we gather more troops?"

Wu Sangui said calmly: "Father has found a man, his name is Hong Antong."

"Hong Antong? He's a good guy. Why doesn't your father use him?"

Wu Sangui said slowly: "I dare not trust him."

"Why?"

Wu Yingxiong asked in confusion: "This man is a civil servant. Father, what if he has other intentions?"

"Then he is a fool."

Wu Sangui's mouth twitched, and he said, "If he doesn't obey, just kill him. Do you think such a timid guy can accomplish anything?"

"So that's how it is. I understand, kid."

Wu Yingxiong bowed and left the palace.

"You understand? You don't understand. You just don't understand."

"If you understood, why would your father tell you?"

Wu Sangui sat down and drank tea, his eyes flickering.

On the other side, outside Xianxia Pass, the Tang army had already cleaned up the battlefield, sweeping away everything in one fell swoop.

Li Zheng looked at the charred battlefield and seemed a little bored.

"Your Majesty, Zheng Jing's navy is still on the river."

Hou Junji reminded him that Zheng Jing's behavior was strange this time. He was obviously there to boost Geng Jingzhong's morale, but he was defeated in the follow-up. He had already refused to leave, and the dark sea ships just confronted the Tang army from a distance.

"They probably want to make some money."

Li Zheng said helplessly: "We have aged a lot in this battle, but what did Zheng Jing gain? A bunch of rabble, his face is thicker than the city wall."

Hou Junji smiled and said, "He is not a minister after all, but he reminds me of some people."

"Correct."

Hou Junji smiled and said, "When those sisters encounter difficulties, they like to stick together. This is a good habit. They usually won't separate when there is danger."

Li Kan said: "So what should we do now? We can't just keep wasting time, right?"

His subordinates were also talking about it, most of them were worried about these ships.

These ships are all Tang army ships. What if they steal one or two? Li Zheng said with a wave of emotion, "This is easy. Just let the Shenwu cannon bombard him a few times."

Everyone knew how powerful the Shenwu Cannon was, so no one said anything. "But are warships like this common in the Ming Dynasty?"

Hou Junji recalled the Ming Dynasty's navigation records that he had read before, and said with some regret: "The sea route from Ming Dynasty to Europe is very long, and most of the sea is islands, deserts, so this kind of ship can only be built for decoration."

Li Zheng said disdainfully: "Don't worry about those people, these Ming people are all idiots."

He looked around and saw that there were no outsiders around, so he whispered: "Our ship is not working?"

These ships are all new ships built by the Ming Dynasty, but they do not have an absolute advantage in the ocean.

"Storms are frequent at sea, and the fleet can easily be hit by big waves if you are not careful."

Hou Junji looked around and saw that everyone was silent, so he said: "In fact, these ships are good, but they are too slow to transport supplies. It takes about five or six days for one trip, and the message is difficult to transmit. In addition, there is no training and modification of the ships. It is wishful thinking for a fleet to move south smoothly. "

Li Zheng said disdainfully: "Aren't these people known to be invincible in naval battles? Isn't it just because their ships are big?"

"Li Kan, take out those 1,000 Shenwu cannons, fire them all within a quarter of an hour, aim and fire for me."

"According to the order."

Li Kan took the order and left. Not long after, the roar of the Shenwu cannon shook the entire Xianxia Ridge.

"The Divine Cannon?"

Politics ah Zheng Jing, who was eating, looked up and muttered, "There is no Shenwu cannon on my ship, why did they start?"

He quickly sent people to investigate.

Soon after, his messenger Hu came, "Sir, there are Shenwu cannons on those ships, and there are a lot of them."

Zheng Jing's head was buzzing. He tremblingly took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a puff.

“The Divine Cannon.” Fear gradually emerged in his eyes, and he murmured, “It’s over, it’s over.”

His followers advised: "Sir, you are a pirate, what are you afraid of? We have thousands of brothers, why should we be afraid of them?"

"afraid?"

Zheng Jing sneered, "What do you know? They are cavalry, but what about us? Infantry. Cavalry and infantry fighting?"

"what is it now?"

"run."

Zheng Jing gritted his teeth and said, "Evacuate immediately, quickly!"

The attendant was stunned and said, "Sir, if we are so scared, won't we be like dogs that have lost their homes?"

Zheng Jing said coldly: "As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood. You know nothing!"

He rushed into the house, grabbed the package and ran, shouting as he ran, "Run!"

The people he brought with him hurriedly followed him, ran to the harbor, then landed and ran away.

After one stick of incense, the Shenwu cannons fired in unison.

The shell flew into the air, fell, and hit a hill, causing dust to rise.

"Hahahahahaha, what a joy, what a joy!"

However, Zheng Jing's fleet reacted quite quickly and stopped moving forward immediately.

"Fire arrows."

The archers in Zheng Jing's fleet all drew their bows and drew their arrows.

"Fire arrows!"

"Bah, bah, bah"

"Whoosh whoosh!"

"Bang bang bang!"

Arrows rained down like rain, densely pouring towards Zheng Jing's fleet, but they had been prepared and hid in excellent positions, so there were no casualties at all.

After a round of arrows, Zheng Jing roared, "Fire the cannon."

Boom!

A huge rock rolled down onto the boat where Zheng Jing was and smashed it into pieces.

"Pfft."

A sailor on the ship vomited blood and fainted.

"My lord, my lord..."

The crew hurried to the shipyard to help Zheng Jing up, but when they dared to stretch out their hands, they felt dizzy and finally fell limply on the deck.

"My Lord... My Lord."

A sailor exclaimed: "Oh no! The master is dead."

Zheng Jing was carried to the shipyard. The stench of rice hit him in the face. He resisted the urge to vomit and said with difficulty: "Throw him down to feed the fish."

The sailors on the ship quickly dragged the sailor out, and the shipyard suddenly became much quieter.

"Cough cough cough."

A violent cough brought Zheng Jing back to consciousness, and then she felt the pain in her lungs and groaned, "Save me!"

He opened his eyes with difficulty and saw a strange face.

"Who?"

"it's me."

The stranger smiled and said, "Are you Zheng Jing?"

Zheng Jing barely supported himself and looked out the window.

"This is where?"

"This is Xianxia Island."

Fairy Island?
Zheng Jing was a little confused and asked, "Xianxia Island in Xianxia Ridge?"
